Giudici 12

NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Ecce autem convocatus vir Ephraim transiit contra aqui lonem, et dixerunt ad Iephte: “ Quare vadens ad pugnam contra filios Ammon vocare nos noluisti, ut pergeremus tecum? Igitur incendemus domum tuam super te ”.	1 The men of Ephraim gathered together and crossed over to Zaphon. They said to Jephthah, "Why do you go on to fight with the Ammonites without calling us to go with you? We will burn your house over you."
2 Quibus ille respondit: “ Disceptatio erat mihi et populo meo contra filios Ammon vehemens, vocavique vos, ut mihi praeberetis auxilium, et facere noluistis.	2 Jephthah answered them, "My soldiers and I were engaged in a critical contest with the Ammonites. I summoned you, but you did not rescue me from their power.
3 Quod cernens posui in manibus meis animam meam transivique ad filios Ammon, et tradidit eos Dominus in manus meas. Quid commerui, ut hodie adversum me consurgatis in proelium? ”.	3 When I saw that you would not effect a rescue, I took my life in my own hand and went on to the Ammonites, and the LORD delivered them into my power. Why, then, do you come up against me this day to fight with me?"
4 Vocatis itaque ad se cunctis viris Galaad, pugnabat contra Ephraim. Percusseruntque viri Galaad Ephraim, quia dixerat: “ Fugitivi de Ephraim estis; Galaad habitat in medio Ephraim et Manasse ”.	4 Then Jephthah called together all the men of Gilead and fought against Ephraim, whom they defeated; for the Ephraimites had said, "You of Gilead are Ephraimite fugitives in territory belonging to Ephraim and Manasseh."
5 Occupaveruntque Galaaditae vada Iordanis, per quae Ephraim reversurus erat. Cumque venisset ad ea de Ephraim numero fugiens atque dixisset: “ Obsecro, ut me transire permittatis ”, dicebant ei Galaaditae: “ Numquid Ephrathaeus es? ”. Quo dicente: “ Non sum ”,	5 The Gileadites took the fords of the Jordan toward Ephraim. When any of the fleeing Ephraimites said, "Let me pass," the men of Gilead would say to him, "Are you an Ephraimite?" If he answered, "No!"
6 interrogabant eum: “ Dic ergo: Scibboleth ” (quod interpretatur Spica). Qui respondebat: “ Sibboleth ”, illud recte exprimere non valens. Statimque apprehensum iugulabant in ipso Iordanis transitu. Et ceciderunt in illo tempore de Ephraim quadraginta duo milia.	6 they would ask him to say "Shibboleth." If he said "Sibboleth," not being able to give the proper pronunciation, they would seize him and kill him at the fords of the Jordan. Thus forty-two thousand Ephraimites fell at that time.
7 Iudicavitque Iephte Galaadites Israel sex annis et mortuus est ac sepultus in civitate sua in Galaad.	7 After having judged Israel for six years, Jephthah the Gileadite died and was buried in his city in Gilead.
8 Post hunc iudicavit Israel Abesan de Bethlehem.	8 After him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.
9 Qui habuit triginta filios et totidem filias emittens foras maritis dedit; et eiusdem numeri filiis suis accepit uxores forinsecus. Qui septem annis iudicavit Israel;	9 He had thirty sons. He also had thirty daughters married outside the family, and he brought in as wives for his sons thirty young women from outside the family. After having judged Israel for seven years,
10 mortuusque est ac sepultus in Bethlehem.	10 Ibzan died and was buried in Bethlehem.
11 Cui successit Ahialon Zabulonites et iudicavit Israel decem annis;	11 After him the Zebulunite Elon judged Israel. When he had judged Israel for ten years,
12 mortuusque est ac sepultus in Ahialon terrae Zabulon.	12 the Zebulunite Elon died and was buried in Elon in the land of Zebulun.
13 Post hunc iudicavit Israel Abdon filius Illel Pharathonites.	13 After him the Pirathonite Abdon, son of Hillel, judged Israel.
14 Qui habuit quadraginta filios et triginta ex eis nepotes ascendentes super septuaginta pullos asinarum. Et iudicavit Israel octo annis;	14 He had forty sons and thirty grandsons who rode on seventy saddle-asses. After having judged Israel for eight years,
15 mortuusque est ac sepultus in Pharathon terrae Ephraim in monte Amalecite.	15 the Pirathonite Abdon, son of Hillel, died and was buried in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim on the mountain of the Amalekites.
